Days before the Democratic National Convention, Vice-President Kamala Harris is riding high on a wave of favourable polls and energetic rallies. But beyond the good vibes, where does the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee stand on key issues?
Although she has yet to release a comprehensive platform, her time as a California senator and prosecutor, her 2020 bid for the presidency and role in the White House as vice-president give hints as to where Ms Harris stands on a number of policies.
Over the years, some of her positions have shifted and some have said that she has struggled to define herself.
To get a better understanding of what her policy agenda now might look like, BBC News reviewed Ms Harris’ recent speeches and public statements as a 2024 candidate, her record as vice-president and her political history as a 2020 presidential candidate, California senator and prosecutor.
Ms Harris’s campaign told the BBC that the candidate’s most recent statements best reflect her intentions if elected president.
“Vice President Harris will build on the Biden-Harris Administration’s historic agenda that beat Big Pharma, created nearly 16 million jobs, and delivered on the first bipartisan gun safety legislation in three decades,” Harris campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz said in a statement.
Here are Ms Harris’ positions on 10 key issues.
